When Ugandan government embarked on its ambitious programme of educational reform in 1997, it was also building a new framework for managing relationships with donors, technical assistance agencies, and stakeholders within the country. This book provides detailed studies of the Ugandan process of education reform, from partnership development, through to curriculum design and policy dialogue. It describes the internal governmental processes and politics involved in developing and implementing new policies, negotiating and managing the budget support modality, and assesses progress on increasing access to, and improving the quality of, primary education.
